LONDON (AFP) - West Ham co-owner David Gold is tempted to hand David Beckham a key role as the East London club seeks to obtain residency at London's Olympic Stadium after the 2012 Games, media reports said on Sunday.
Gold views the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder as the ideal ambassador to secure a deal to move the English Premier League club to the new ground and is also mulling the possibility of handing the former England skipper a short-term playing role.
